septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Only a shallow percolation test was performed. Details and results of the percolation <br /> test are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2. Percolation Test Summary <br /> Test No., Percolation Percolation Test Duration Comments <br /> Date Tested Test Rate (see notes) <br /> Depth (ft.)

A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a"deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the sewage disposal areas of the Site have demonstrated a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for the use of a standard septic system in accordance with the <br /> requirements of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines and sumps or a filter bed should follow <br /> the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) where <br /> applicable. <br /> LOGE1120 Page 7 <br />
